The Police Court Bill.

! To the Editor of the Republic:
The meal-tub rat is surely caught by the
bait given il in issue Of March l. Ii is true
this rat is given the name of "A Friend of
| Reform" but this name does not make him
any other rat than the one directly hit by
your article But this matters nothing.
| The great point TO the voter is the truth or
falsehood of this ''Reform" article. If
true. it is valuable to the voters Ii false.
the writer should be publicly branded As a
! wiilful falsifier and be shown up by every
public print in the city as such.
And now 10 the fact: Is his statement
true, or false? He quotes you thus:
We do not advocate the present system:
we believe it 10 be bad law that requires an
officer 10 sit both as judge and jury
The Times says: but the police bill
cuts this off. and the fee system-dollar
and costs-both of which. he SAYS, are
wrong; but he can see no merit in the bill
that cuts of these sources of corruption

home. or you would not thus rant without
reason
This Timess positive assertion is what
the writer has not had in direct words be.
found an article headed thus. The follow
ing is full text of the bill II this text
of the bill be a trie one. the assertion above
quoted is as false as false can be: and in
case this assertion is true, then the bill is
as asserted. but is falsely stated There
fore that meal-tub rat is caught in false |
hood which il cannot wash away with all |
the money the Times has at its command |
And now TO the bill. This bill. doubt |

be drawn for the purpose. If all |
are not satisfied that such is the fact let a |
premium be offered for one that will beat
ii. and have competent judges appointed to

The deception OF this bill, together with
that of the Times as 10 its real purpose, has

1t is fully believed by the writer that this
bill cannot get the support of one voter in
ten. when as well understood by each voter
As it is by himself, and which understand
ing is, that this bill makes the clerk of the
police court salaried officer, and makes no
,ther a salaried office; and to show that this
assertion is believed by him, he will give
my man s. who will show that il makes
my other than this clerk a salaried officer.
Every voter should carefully read and

As to the hanging OF the late Mrs. Druse

that there were two sides to the question as

Mrs. Drnse's frends-chief among which was
the editor of the New York StGr-who rep
resented her as an injured woman who had
Killed brutal, drunken husband. in self
defense. and there was at least a little
ground for the claim. On the other hand
she was represented to be the sole aggres-
sor. Never were such efferts made to save
the life OF a person as were exerted in
Mrs. Druse's behalf. The judges, the gov

The Cincinnati Times-Stdr is trying to
nut a wet blanket on natural gas enter
prise by this sort OF talk:
An illuminant at Sl.l5 will not tend to
boom the scheme tG bring natural gas to
this city. The laying of gas mains costs
$1,000 a mile. and the distance to Findlay.
below which the natural gas pockets are
located is l5S miles. The product of 15s
and l5 coo is 2.370,O 900. l. any business
man foolish enough to contribute his good
money towards making up S2.310, 900. the
necessary cost of getting an uncertain
supply of gas to the city gates, to say moth
ing of the enormous cost of laying
about two hundred more miles of mains and
pipes for distribution? There might be
reason in such an investment if there was a
certainty Of the natural gas supply holding
ont Some of the Subterranean gas holders
of Pennsylvania have been exhausted. Who
j. there to say that the necessary elements
are all located under Findlay 10 maintain a
never failing supply"
Whatever truth there is in this III there
is any, applies a we'll to Springfield as to

THE WIGWiH MEETING.

Ii is being urged in certain circles that
the citizens meeting. at the wigwam Friday
evening. is not called in good faith. but is
simply a sham Ia defeat the police bill.
This is unjust 10 the citizens who inaugur-
ated the meeting, as utmost liberty will be
given tor fair and wholesome discussion
of the bill. Ii those who favor the
bill can produce reasons, good and
sufficient. why the bill should be put in
force it will be to their interest 10 be there
and present that side of the case; and on
the other hand, the opponents of the bill
should be on hand with their arguments.
The measure of a police commission is
one that has been approved by every news
paper in the city and has received the very
general approval Of every one, and there
certainly can be no reasonable objection to
the people meeting together and discussing
the question and the arrangement of plan
for the passage Of a bill, AT once, that meets
their views on the question of city govern
ment
We have heart OF no one supporting the
new bill because they believed it 10 be the
best Neihod, but only because they think
perhapst may improve matters. This be-
ing the general sentiment, every one should
acquiesce in the movement and be present
at the wgwam meeting Friday night The
people want a police commission and sal
aried mayor. and this is simply movement
on the part Of our people to discuss the
possibility of getting what the city needs
and the citizens universally want. There
should be no mpediments thrown in the
way of the meeting.

Edward Everett Hale gets off lecture in
which he shows something of the human
side of George Washington. In it he
says:
Washington was a real man and not a
demi-god. He was singularly human.
The real Washington bought lottery
tickets, and had a habit of falling in love.
and was greatly troubled because the
Young women would not fall in love with
him. He was a bad speiler; he traded
horses, always to his own advantage,
and he was the richest American of his
day. Lord Fairfax brought up Washing
ton to become a thorn in the flesh of
George Ill. The lecturer had no doubt
that the hatchet story was true. Washing
ton was man of principle and honor. and
in the time of the stamp act was recognized
as the Virginia patriot. Washington was
aS talkative among friends as Grant, but as
silent as he was in the presence of report
ers. He asked blessing at the table; he
had his mug of beer and his glass of wine,
and was healthy, cheerful. active man,
who enjoyed life as if it were worth living.
He had great passions. but held them in
magnificent control. lie had some faint
idea OF the America of today.
